Gavin Fox – “You Can Lean On Me”

Gavin Fox’s latest single, “You Can Lean On Me”, is a reminder of why he’s become such a respected figure in the Irish folk rock and Americana scene, and to be honest, I’m a new fan of the artist. Released on August 1st, the track is weaving themes of resilience, fear, and connection into something that feels both personal and universal. There is a progression from his earlier material as he builds on his established storytelling style while bringing a sharper focus to the emotional core of his writing.

The Americana and folk rock influences are clear, but Fox uses them as a backdrop for something more intimate: an invitation to face hard truths while knowing you don’t have to face them alone. His vocals have a warmth and sincerity that make the song’s lyrics hit with even more impact, drawing the listener in from the first word to the last one. It fits naturally alongside his previous single, “If You Ask Me To” you can listen to it down below, continuing a chapter of work that’s unafraid to acknowledge struggle while still reaching for hope.

For anyone following Gavin Fox’s journey, “You Can Lean On Me” feels like another confident step forward. If you want to keep up with what’s next and there’s plenty more to come in 2025, make sure you’re following him on social media to stay updated.
